shooting low left, tips?

[dubs chops]

Guys, I have several pistols. Ea. one I seem to shoot low left. at 7 yards with my new barretta px4 SC in 9mm I am shooting about a 5" group but it is about 4" low 2-3" left. Is there any way in the world to overcome this? I am thinking on this one it may actually need a sight adjustment? I am very consistant with it just low and left. any tips or pointers?

Sounds like you're a right handed shooter. If so, its your trigger control

Yes I am right handed. What Can I do to overcome this? or if it is consistent should I just adjust my aim?

Try these two drills. They may help discipline that trigger finger!

wall drill

ball 'n dummy drill

sounds like a right hander(you told us that) snticipating recoil and pushing the gun down and away. like was said trigger control and maybe easing up on your grip

Definatley trigger control. However that can be drilled down into a few problems as well. Best advice is to get some training. TDSA, USSA, or OSS. Any suggestions witout oversight could cause you to reinforce bad habits. I promise any of these will be worth the money.

Increase your grip on your left hand, decrease your grip on your right.
Practice Dryfire with all the grip on your left hand and the right is trigger pull only. You can also shoot it off a rest or have someone else shoot it to see if it is sight related(it's probably not).
"Best advice is to get some training. TDSA, USSA, or OSS."
Having someone train you will minimize your bad habits and you will see almost immediate results.

It's best you have a trained instructor watch over you. You don't want to develope bad habbits. However, if that is not an option its best to dry fire. Concentrate on pressing the trigger straight to the rear while maintaing focus on the front sight. The sights and trigger are one. Aim the gun with the trigger press - if that makes sense
